Technical Abstract

Described is a system for detecting and correcting perception errors in a perception system. In operation, the system generates a list of detected objects from perception data of a scene, which allows for the generation of a list of background classes from backgrounds in the perception data associated with the list of detected objects. For each detected object in the list of detected objects, a closest background class is identified from the list of background classes. Vectors can then be used to determine a semantic feature, which is used to identify axioms. An optimal perception parameter is then generated, which is used to adjust perception parameters in the perception system to minimize perception errors.

Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

3

3. The system as set forth in claim 2, wherein the semantic feature is a cosine similarity metric.

4

4. The system as set forth in claim 2, wherein the semantic feature is a conditional random fields (CRF) feature where co-occurrence statistics are obtained through a probabilistic framework, with a maximum a posteriori probability inference used to determine a likelihood of co-occurring objects.

5

5. The system as set forth in claim 2, further comprising an operation of causing an autonomous vehicle to initiate a physical operation based on the optimal perception parameter.
